That would be the biggest blow for the Dollar, and a big win for China.

Now that is a dedication to science. Hats off to this hero!

What is her problem? That fuel is dirt cheap. We pay about twice as much here in Europe.

Not really. It means I have access to devices and tools I simply could not afford as a hobbyist. It means I can go to trade fairs and seminars paid for by my boss. It means I can get materials for my hobby at large customer discount prices.

Don’t know about Fedora. And you would have to do odd things to bloat any Linux distribution anywhere near a Winslop system.

My son had a netbook with win10 and office. This ate 27 of the 32 GB the thing had. An “important update” of 8 GB did not work, putting the device in a download and fail cycle.

I installed Linux on this machine - Kubuntu, with LibreOffice and a load of extra software. Took only about 4 GB of space.

First the rainbow tables, now this. This must be an interesting thesis, even if its academic value might be … questionable.

Depends on the teacher. We had both kinds.

Oh my goodness. This guy os beyond repair.

I’ve heard a lot of “audiophile” bullshit in my life, as I work with audio, but this idiot brats them all by a nautical mile.

Only in America…

What scientific publishing really needs is a cost-free publishing system that is run by the universities, and where the universities publish all their papers in.

Maybe that’s the reason that Israel has US politics on the leash.

I’m non-native (native German, learned English in school). Nearly everything I read or write is English, though, and I’ve probably read more English books than most of the native speakers.

I was running a server hosting a Gutenberg mirror at home 30+ years ago. And no, it’s not public.

One of my schoolmate was a serious asshole. Our guesses for his future were either he’d be a lawyer, or he’ll make a career in the FDP (a more money for the rich kind of political party here, with a “liberal” label).

I was not surprised to learn that he is lawyer, working for exactly that party.

Well, it actually has a few more circles and lines, but yes.

The CIA operatives currently risking their lives in the country will be soooo happy that Trump publicly supports them /s

Knows politics, but is a person I’d trust to fix things.

Network Administration.

If the network and servers all work: What are we paying you for?

If the network or one of the servers are down: What are we paying you for?

Some local plants might be edible and even delicious, but they are either way to costly to grow or harvest, or they are nigh impossible to preserve. Or they simply are edible, but not sustaining, like sucking nectar from stinging nettle blossoms.

Some are acquired tastes like e.g. turnip tops. You could probably harvest tons of them, but there is no real market for it.

Or take edible flowers, you basically can’t preserve them, and all you can do is put them on a dish for decoration.

Pearl Onions are a borderline case, for example. Between harvest and sitting in the pickling juice they only have a few hours (3-6, IIRC), or they are a case for the compost heap.
